We all know who these characters are, but they’re never named, so in theory they could be anyone. A professor (Simon Rouse) whose theory of relativity transformed the scientific field; an actress (Alice Bailey Johnson) instantly recognisable for her platinum blonde hair, white dress and signature beauty spot; a baseball player (Oliver Hembrough) who married the actress and has a nasty temper; a senator (Tom Mannion) who uses bullying, machismo tactics to get what he wants.

The exciting cast have now been announced for the first London revival in over 20 years of Insignificanceby two-time Olivier Award winner Terry Johnson. Alice Bailey Johnson, Simon Rouse, Tom Mannion and Oliver Hembrough will bring this hilarious and bittersweet comedy to life on stage at the Arcola Theatre.
